You know what’s the best thing about watching the big game? All the tailgating that’s gonna happen before the game. It’s Football season and Its time to cheer and celebrate your favorite team, whether that’s in the parking lot of the stadium or your backyard. It’s that time where the air is filled with the smell of barbeque on the grill, drinking bears out of a cooler, and enjoying amazing food.
The best thing about tailgating is all the fun you’re going to have with friends and family while playing tailgate games.
We are going to show you the best tailgate games you can participate in, and have a great time.
1. Cornhole
Cornhole is a favorite amongst the tailgaters. It’s a very simple game, and the objective is to toss a beanbag onto your opponent’s cornhole platform and the cornhole. You score one point if you hit the board, and three if you manage to put the beanbag into the cornhole. First to 21 points wins and you can play it with a teammate and make it two vs. two.
The only bad thing is that someone actually has to have the board, beanbags, and of course, someone to participate. You do get the occasional competitive dude and just ruins the game for you.
2. Ladder Golf
The goal of ladder golf is to throw bolas, which are two golf sized balls shackled together, at a three-rung ladder and each of the three rungs has different point values. The top awards you three points, the middle awards you two points, and the bottom awards you one point and the first one to 21 points without going over is the winner.
Ladder golf requires the above-mentioned items in order to play and at least two participants.
3. Fowling
One of the newest and highly rising tailgate game amongst football fans, fowling is a game hybrid between bowling and football. The objective of the game is to throw a football at your opponents bowling pins, or if you don’t have bowling pins you can use empty beer cans, and the first one who knocks down all of his opponent’s pins is the winner.
Another version of the game is played in a way that you mark your pins with different point totals. One pin is 25 points, two are 10 points, and the rest of the pins are marked with 1, 2, and 5.
You throw the ball and add the sums of the pins which you’ve hit. First, one to 50 wins the game.
To play fowling you need at least two participants, a football, and bowling pins, oh yeah and of course, lots of beer.
4. Sholf
Sholf is a hybrid between gold and table shuffleboard. The game is played on a lawn where players take turns to try to put gols balls into different scoring zones on a printed putting green. Everyone takes a turn trying to score points, or try to bump an opposing player off the green, first one to 13 points, wins the game.
To play sholf, you need at least two players, although the best sholf tailgate parties are those where there are at least four players, golf clubs, golf ball, and a printed playing surface.
